TELEPHONE OPERATION
Headset Jack
You can use this telephone hands-free when you install a 2.5 mm headset
(AT&T SKU# 24099), purchased separately.
Plug the headset into the jack located on the right side of the handset
(under the small rubber flap). Do not force the connection, but make sure
the plug fits securely.
Operating Range
This cordless telephone operates within the maximum power allowed by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Even so, this handset and
base can communicate over only a certain distance — which can vary with
the locations of the base and handset, the weather, and the construction of
your home or office. For best performance, keep the base antenna fully
upright.
If you receive a call while you are out of range, the handset might not
ring — or if it does ring, the call might not connect when you press P.
Move closer to the base, then press P to answer the call.
If you move out of range during a phone conversation, you might
hear noise or interference. To improve reception, move closer to the base.
If you move out of range without pressing O, your phone will be
left “off the hook.” To hang up properly, walk back into range, periodically
pressing O.

ANSWERING SYSTEM OPERATION
AT THE BASE
Audible Indicators
This system gives you voice prompts for feature operations and voice
confirmations when you press a button or complete an operation.
About Mailboxes
This answering system has three voice mailboxes. Callers using a touch
tone phone can select the mailbox in which their messages will be
recorded by pressing # 1, # 2, or # 3 after the system answers the call.
All other messages will be recorded in Mailbox 1.
About Announcements
•
•
•
•
•
12
You can record up to two different announcements — one for normal
answering and one for when you’ve set the system to play the
announcement only.
Use normal answering when you want the system to record callers’
messages. Use Announce Only when you want to give information to
callers without accepting messages.
If you choose not to record an announcement, the system answers with
a pre-recorded announcement.
The normal answering pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m
unable to answer your call right now. Please leave your name,
number and message after the tone.” The Announce Only
pre-recorded announcement says: “Hello. I’m unable to answer your
call right now. Please call again. Thank you.”
By setting Announce Only to On or Off, you decide which
announcement your callers will hear when the system answers a call
(the system comes set for normal answering, with Announce Only
turned off). See “Set Announce Only” on page 14 to change your
announcement selection.

BATTERIES
Charging the Handset Battery Pack
This battery should remain charged up to six days with the ringer turned
on and up to twelve days with the ringer off. A fully charged battery
provides an average talk time of about six hours.
The battery pack needs charging when:
• A new battery is installed in the handset.
• The phone beeps twice when you press P.
• The phone light flashes slowly.
Place the handset in the base so the CHARGING light turns on. The battery
pack is typically fully charged in eight hours.
You can keep the battery fully charged by returning the handset to the
base after each use.
If you repeatedly get a low battery indicator, even after eight hours of
charging, the battery should be replaced. Use only AT&T battery 3301
(SKU# 91076).
CAUTION: Charge the battery provided with or identified for use
with this product only in accordance with the instructions and
limitations specified in the User’s Manual, Part 1.

Replace the cover by sliding it up into place.
The new battery pack must be charged before using the phone.
Place the handset in the base and allow it to charge for at least
24 hours the first charge. The telephone might operate before that, but
for best performance, let the battery pack charge fully.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you have difficulty operating this phone, try the suggestions below.
For Customer Service, visit our website at www.telephones.att.com or call
1 800 222–3111. Please retain your receipt as your proof of purchase.
If the phone doesn’t work at all, check these items first:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure the AC adapter is plugged into an outlet not controlled by a
wall switch.
Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged firmly into the base unit
and the modular jack.
Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
If the handset does not beep when you press P, the battery might
need charging.
Make sure the battery pack is installed correctly.
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service on your phone line, make sure
the dial mode is set to dial pulse (see INSTALLATION).
If the above suggestions don’t solve the problem, try
re-initializing the handset and base:
1
2
3
4
5
6
Disconnect the power to the base.
Remove the handset battery pack.
Wait a few minutes.
Connect the power to the base.
Insert the handset battery pack.
Put the handset in the base to re-initialize.
If you hear a two-beep signal when you try to use the handset:
•
•
You might be out of range. Move closer to the base and try again.
If moving closer to the base doesn’t help, try following the directions
above for re-initializing the handset and base.
If the phone does not ring when you receive a call:
•
•
•
•
•
22
Make sure the handset ringer is on.
Make sure the telephone line cord is connected firmly to the base and
the telephone jack.
Make sure the AC adapter is plugged firmly into an outlet not
controlled by a wall switch.
You might be too far from the base; move closer.
You might have too many extension phones on your telephone line to
allow all of them to ring. Try unplugging some of them.

Page 23
IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you hear noise or interference when using the phone:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Make sure the base antenna is fully upright.
You may be out of range. Move closer to the base.
Press and release C to change to another of the 30 channels
available. If noise is exceptionally loud, move closer to the base before
changing channels.
Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the base can
sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the base to
another outlet.
The layout of your home or office might be limiting the operating
range. Try moving the base to another location, preferably on an
upper floor.
If the buttons don’t work, try placing the handset in the base for at
least 15 seconds.
If you hear other calls while using your phone:
•
•
Press C to change to another channel.
Disconnect the base from the modular jack and plug in a corded
telephone. If you still hear other calls, the problem is probably in your
wiring or local service. Call your local telephone service company.
If you lose a call after changing channels:
You were probably almost out of range. Move closer to the base before
changing channels. Before placing another call, set the handset in the base
for at least 15 seconds.
If you are unable to operate special telephone services or other
equipment requiring touch tone signals:
If you have dial pulse (rotary) service, follow the directions under
“Temporary Tone Dialing” in the TELEPHONE OPERATION section of
this manual.
If messages are incomplete:
•
•
•
If a caller leaves a very long message, part of it may be lost when the
system disconnects the call after three minutes.
If the caller pauses for more than seven seconds, the system stops
recording and disconnects the call.
If the system’s memory becomes full during a message, the system
stops recording and disconnects the call.

IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY
If you have difficulty hearing messages:
Check the volume setting.
If the system does not answer after the correct number of rings:
•
•
•
•
Make sure that the ANSWER ON/OFF light on the base is on. If it is off,
press o.
If Toll Saver is on, the number of rings changes to two when you have
new messages waiting.
In some cases, the system may be affected by the ringing system used
by the local telephone company.
If the memory is full or the system is off, the system answers after
10 rings.
If CL appears in the Message Window:
You need to reset the clock.
If the system does not respond to commands from a remote
touch tone phone:
•
•
•
•
Make sure you are calling from a touch tone phone. When you dial a
number, you should hear tones. If you hear clicks instead, the phone is
not a touch tone telephone.
The answering system may not detect the Remote Access Code while
your announcement is playing. Try waiting until the announcement is
over before entering the code.
Make sure you enter your Remote Access Code correctly.
There may be noise or interference on the phone line you are using.
Press keys firmly.
If your outgoing announcement isn’t clear:
•
•
24
When you record your announcement, make sure you speak in a
normal tone of voice, about nine inches from the base.
Make sure there is no “background” noise (TV, music, etc.) while you
are recording.
